Australia. A large part of these shipments 

 were obtained in the Delta and lower Main-

 who looked after these shipments took great 

 care in their selection and inspection. 



Fruit Inspectors at Vancouver continue to

 Washington State affected with the Codling

Okanagan fruit growers are well satisfied 

 with the results obtained from the use of 

 the Economy Crate. It has been used for 

 the marketing of the lower igrades of apples 

 and contains about 45 lbs. Already It has 

 been suggested that it be made a standard 

 package. 



Up to the middle of October some thirty- 

 four carloads of fruit had been shipped by 

 the Grand Forks Fruit Growers' Association. 

 Before the end of the season upwards of 

 sixty carloads will be shipped, including 

 thirteen cars of prunes, one of plums, and 

 three of pears.

At a meeting of the executive of the 

 Okanagan United Growers, held recently, it 

 was shown that shipments of fruit up to 

 October 13th had amounted to almost 1,000 

 cars, and that there were orders on hand 

 which would bring the shipment for the 

 season up to about 1,400 cars. The apple 

 tonnage handled by The United Growers 

 will be approximately 347,280 boxes. Up to 

 the date of the meeting the export ship- 

 ments included over 20,000 boxes to New 

 Zealand and Australia and some 2,000 boxes 

 to South Africa.

 and French Governments for army pur-
